The Lord is King for ever and ever! - c.h. spurgeon

Every few days, I receive an email with devotionals written by the great preacher and theologian Charles Haddon Spurgeon.  Here's the text, based on Psalm 10:16, from one of the recent entries:

O that we could crown him more gloriously than we do! 


We would count 
no expense to be wasted 
that could glorify Christ. 


Suffering would be pleasure, and loss would be gain, 
     if thereby we could surround his brow with brighter crowns, 
          and make him more glorious in the eyes of men and angels. 


Yes, he shall reign. 
Long live the King! 
All hail to thee, King Jesus! 


Go forth, ye virgin souls who love your Lord, 
     bow at his feet, 
          strew his way with the lilies of your love, 
               and the roses of your gratitude: 


“Bring forth the royal diadem, and crown him Lord of all.”


The Lord is King for ever and ever. 
Psalm 10:16
